MOCU Reaches $600M Assets Milestone |
[Media Release 03/23] Mid Oregon Credit Union announced their assets have exceeded $600 million. Mid Oregon credits the growing population in the area, expanding membership base, strong lending demand, improved systems and additional technology, and its focused strategy for achieving this milestone.
“Our Executive Leadership Team has been preparing for smart growth for several years,” says Kevin Cole, Mid Oregon President. “By establishing and maintaining focus on our key results—including growth in membership and overall member relationships—our team has worked together to consistently exceed our goals while maintaining our standards for friendly member service.”
Mid Oregon steadily increased its assets $100 million since March 2021, achieving the $600 million asset milestone at year-end 2021. Since its charter in 1957, Mid Oregon has granted more than $1.4 billion in loans.
Despite the challenges of the past two years, Mid Oregon increased membership by almost 8% in 2021 by providing a variety of affordable, high-quality financial services to individuals, families, and businesses in Central Oregon. Currently, the credit union proudly serves more than 41,000 members.
Other initiatives contributing to Mid Oregon’s growth rate include the success of Simply Free checking accounts, the introduction of their new Everyday Rewards VISA® credit card, next-generation digital banking services, and expansion into real estate lending and commercial loans. Adding a full-service branch in Sisters in 2020, Mid Oregon now has seven locations serving the communities of Bend, Redmond, Madras, Prineville, La Pine, and Sisters.

scam /skam/
noun
- a dishonest scheme; a fraud.
According to the FBI, Americans were hit by an unprecedented rise in cybercrime in 2021, with nearly 850,000 reports to the FBI and losses surpassing $6.9 billion.
It seems like every time you turn around, a new scam is making the rounds and the goal is the same—to get you to provide your personal information so they can steal your data, money, or both.
Fortunately, there are ways to protect yourself. The most obvious is not to share your personal information like your bank account number, SSN, or date of birth.
Common sense right? Yes and no. Criminals are continuously developing new and sophisticated ways to capture the data they need from you. The question now is how to recognize a scam?
